Aberdeen Cattle.

The black hornless cattle called
Aberdeen are excellent for the North.
west and West. They are extremely
hardy and make the best of beef. The
absence OF horns is muck in their ia
vor. They compete favorably with,
the Shorthorns and Herdfords, but
the Holstein, or Dutch, cattle are quite
different, being better fitted for the
dairy; but the steers make very good
beet. Grade Holstein steers have been
fet for beef with as much profit as any
other kind, but they would not do SO
we'll under exposure AS the polled
Aberdeen. The polled Angus Is very
similar to the Aberdeens. The name
is different; that is all or most of the
difference. 1t would be no improve
ment on the AberdeenS to cross them
with any breed, but they make good
cross with The Shorthorn and. the
larger native cows.

ToAvoid chapping.

The Scientific American says the.
roughest and hardest hands can be-
made soft and white in amonth's tins
by doctoring them little at he'd
time; that !. little ammonia OF. .borax
in the wafer you wash your hands
with. and that water just luke, warm.
will keep the skin clean and soft; that
q little oatmeal mixed with the water
will whiten the hands and that the
best preparation for tho hands at
light is the white of an egg with a
grain OF alum dissolved in it. II the
hands and face are strongly inclined
to chap, oatmeal in the watar they.
are washed with is better than either
ammonia or borax, though not quite
SO convenient. II not used in water,
dry oatmeal may be rubbed over the
hands after they have been washed
and dried, or, which is a. very good
plan, before drying. and then rubbed
OF gently, with TIN towel.

Plenty Of Hot Water.

One OF the most important and
most neglected parts OF the kitchen
duties is the keeping plenty of hot
water on the stove. Very few cooks
can be taught to replenish a kettle as
soon as it is emptled. The old lady
who, when dying and almost speech
less, beckoned her daughter to bend
over her to receive her final messages,
and murmured with her last breath,
'tAlways-keep-the kettIe-full-of
hot-water," Is no subject for ridicule
to housewives. Most OF them have
been in extrenlities where her course
seemed to them entirely natural. To
be in a hurry for the cupiul OF boiling
water that is needed for certain
dish, only to find the kettle dry, is O.
tax upon the patience that is hard to
meet. Insisting chat the kettle must
never be placed on the stove unless
filled, and examination into the mat
ter on every visit to the kitchen, are
Iae only remedios for the tre ab!e.-

4 Bath Tub In Every HOUSEHOLDS

Every one needs bath at times
and every human habitation should
contain someth ing for complete inn
mersion in water, and, since conyen-
lent and efficient portable baths, at
comparatively low figures, are now
extensively advertised for sale, there
is little excuse tor most people to be
without chs priceless benefit. In the
long catalogue Of diseases to which
flesh is heir, says a we'll known Troy
physician. scarcely one can be named
in the treatment of which a bath is
useless. To those blessed with good
health, a bath, as common sense ap-
p'iance, gives thrift and growth to
healthy functions, brightness and
delightful serenity, g. clearness of mind
and buoyancy ofspirit. 1t is certain
iy a blessing TO both mind and body.
For the mental worker, it is a nerve
tonic. A thorough application OF
water of proper temperature will
calm and give strength and tone to-
his whole system. The indoor labor

fresh air. needs a bath to obtain the

The Dorking Fowl.

The Dorking is not so weA known in
this country as in England. but it is
becoming quite popular. It stands

lent quality OF it's flesh, while as alay-
er it is we'll above the average. There
are three we'll known varieties-the
white, silver-gray and colored, the lat
ter being rather trihe larger than
the others, but the white is the oldest
established. All OF them have FIVE
toes on each foot, are very compact,
fine in bone, and possess juicy flesh
when cooked. For capons, a cross OF
the Dorking or Brahmas or, Cochins is
the best that can be made. A. cross of

Wishes 10 Enforce IL.

Gov Pennoyer says he wants to en-
force the fish law. Following is the
section that applies:
Sec. /. That it shall not be law
full to take or fish for salmon in the
Columbia river or its tributaries, by
any means whatever, in any year
hereafter, during the months OF
March, August and September, nor
at the weekly close times in the
months of April, May, June and July;
that is to say, between the hours of
six o'clock of the afternoon of each
and every Saturday, until six o'clock
of the afternoon OF the Sunday fol
lowing, and any person or persons
catching salmon In violation of the
provisions of this section, or purchas-
ing salmon so unlawfully caught, shall,
upon conviction thereof. be fined
in the sum OF not less than five hun
dred dollars, nor more than one
thousand dollars, for the first offense,
and fer each and every subsequent
offense, upon conviction thereof, shall

THE PROPOSED HIGH SCHOOL.

IT is proposed to establish, jointly,
a high school in this city, 10 be sup
ported by districts number one and
eighteen. The project Is open for
discussion.
In favor OF the idea it is to be said
that. at present, children completing
the course OF study in either Of the.
city public schools must, if they wish
to pursue further and higher branch
es. 90 elsewhere for education; that
by reason of this many deserving boys
and girls are by force of circumstances
debarred from such opportunity, and
that high school is an existing want.
As opposed to the idea it may be
stated that a high school must be a
high school in fact as well as in name,
that it is too expensive an institution
for this debt-burdened community;
that it would be better policy TO raise
the standard of efficiency in Our pres
ent schools and make them better
than to try to make high school that
would after all be Of little practical
benefit by reason OF necessarily
meager appropriations for its exist
ence. The question is an important
one and should be thoroughly dis
cusSed
1t must be borne in mind that there
are limits to the duty of the state.
Tke state owes its youth the opportu-
mites OF common school education.
When it furnishes this its duty is
done. Ii we can afford more and bet
ter facilities it should be supplied
but we should be just before We are
generous. The need is not so much
for a generation of highly educated
Young people who go out with their
heads crammed full and their hands
empty, as il is to have the rudiments
OF a good education soundly and firm
~ inculcated. Ia looking at a pro-
posed "high school," don't forget the
needs of the primary school There
is where the prime necessity exists,
and it is by the worth or worthless
ness Of the primary school that the
future efficiency of our boys and girls
Is to be measured
If there is any possible increase in
the amount of school money to be ex-
pended in this city it would, in our
opinion, be of more practical use to
aid the primary, intermediate and
grammar departments of the two
schools We have now. In doing this
you do your full duty-a duty which
at present, is not wholly fulfilled.

MORMON EFFORTS.

THE Philadelphia Press of the End
inst. prints q two-column letter from
John Walker jackson, at Salt Lake
City, giving q history of the attempt
OF the Mormon church to make Utah
a state. The tone is severe. After
quoting the acts of apostle Richards,
who opened the recent convention
with prayer, jackson says: 'John Il.
Cain, president of this convention and
delegate to congress, who, it is said,
brings from Washington assurances
that are communicated in very mys-
terious Mormon ways to the Saints
that all will be right if the conven-
tion is careful to this end, was present
at the Logan confe. renee and sat on
the stand among the church dignita-
ries as high priest, and made the re-
port of his doings in congress, and he
was at that time instructed by his
church to get up a meeting in the
Salt Lake tabernacle and pass a pro-
test against the legislation OF con-
gress, which was in effect that polyg-
amy and bigamy were incompatible
with q republican form of government.
The paper was presented to the presi-
dent OF the United States, and the
president at that time expressed Won
der why the people of Mormonism
could not be like other people. The
document said: Among the princi-
pies of our religion is that of imme-
diate revelation from God. One of
the doctrines so revealed is celestial
or plural marriage, for which, os-
tensibly, we are stigmatized and hated.
This is a vital point in our religion,
the decision of the courts to the con-
trary Notwithstanding" Jackson
concludes: when the majority of the
non-Mormon population of Utah shall
call a convention, and ask for admis-
sion to the Union, it will be time to
open the doors and invite the erring
but repentant sinner in, for she viii
then be clothed, and in her right
mind"

TwEEDLE DUN AND TwEEDLE DEE,

A newspaper man in Portland is
charged on a shipment of paper
from st. Paul sixty (60) cents a hun
dred, while am charged $3.50 hun
dred. III the 60 cent rate is "rea-
sonable and just rate, the $3.50 rate
is extortionate. Before the inter
state commerce law went into effect
the rate to Portland from st. Paul
was 60 cents a hundred, to Walla
Walla S1.50. While / considered the
S1.50 rate too high, 1 did not COM
plain, because it was low enough to
permit me to buy paper in st. Paul
and lay it in Walla Walla for less
than / could buy il in Portland and
lay il at my Office. The new rate
forces me to buy In Portland, and not
only forces me to do so, but compels
me to pay more there than L used to.
The present rates on paper from st.

unreasonable and unjust, but they are
extortionate The old dollar and q
half rate was paying one or the rail
